Overview
The AnTing 800D Benchtop Low-Speed Centrifuge is an entry-level, fixed-speed centrifugation system engineered for routine separation tasks in academic laboratories, quality control environments, and small-scale production facilities. Operating on the principle of sedimentation under radial acceleration, the 800D generates controlled centrifugal forces to separate heterogeneous mixtures—such as blood components, cell suspensions, precipitated proteins, or particulate-laden aqueous solutions—based on differences in particle density, size, and shape. Its maximum rotational speed of 4000 rpm delivers a peak relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 1430 ×g, making it suitable for low-to-moderate g-force applications where thermal stability and mechanical simplicity are prioritized over ultra-high-speed performance. Designed without active refrigeration, the 800D operates at ambient temperature and is not intended for thermosensitive biological samples requiring temperature control—users requiring cryogenic operation should consider dedicated refrigerated centrifuges compliant with ISO 21501-4 and IEC 61010-2-020 safety standards.
Key Features
- Brushless DC motor with variable frequency drive ensures stable speed regulation and extended service life, minimizing mechanical wear and reducing maintenance intervals.
- Electronic safety door interlock prevents rotor rotation unless the lid is fully closed and latched—meeting essential requirements of IEC 61010-1 for laboratory equipment safety.
- Reinforced polymer chassis provides structural rigidity while maintaining low mass (45 kg), enabling stable placement on standard lab benches without anchoring.
- Intuitive touch-screen interface supports precise timer setting from 0 to 99 minutes in 1-minute increments, with automatic deceleration and rotor stop confirmation.
- Fixed-angle rotor configuration (15 mL × 6) enables rapid pelleting of moderate-volume samples with high reproducibility; rotor balance tolerance adheres to ISO 15190:2020 guidelines for centrifuge rotor loading symmetry.
- No external cooling system—eliminates condensation risks and reduces power consumption, aligning with energy efficiency benchmarks for non-refrigerated lab instrumentation.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The 800D accommodates standard polypropylene or polycarbonate conical tubes (15 mL capacity) and is compatible with common anticoagulant-treated whole blood, buffered saline suspensions, and clarified culture supernatants. It is not validated for use with hazardous, volatile, or highly corrosive solvents—users must consult chemical compatibility charts prior to solvent-based extractions. While the unit itself carries CE marking per Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC) and 2014/35/EU (LVD), it does not include FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant audit trail functionality or GLP/GMP traceability features. For regulated QC workflows (e.g., pharmacopeial testing per USP or ISO 13485 environments), integration with external LIMS or manual logbook documentation is required.
Software & Data Management
The 800D operates via embedded firmware only—no PC connectivity, USB export, or remote monitoring capability is provided. All operational parameters (speed, time, run status) are displayed locally on the capacitive touch panel. No data logging, CSV export, or electronic record retention is supported; users must manually record run conditions and outcomes in bound laboratory notebooks or validated electronic systems. This architecture reflects its positioning as a standalone, operator-controlled instrument rather than a networked, audit-ready platform.
Applications
- Routine blood fractionation (serum/plasma separation from whole blood)
- Pelleting of mammalian and microbial cells during upstream bioprocessing
- Clarification of crude enzyme extracts or antibody-containing supernatants
- Sedimentation of insoluble additives in formulation development (e.g., excipient screening)
- Preparative isolation of microparticles or microbeads in diagnostic assay development
- Quality assurance checks for suspension homogeneity in pharmaceutical intermediate batches
FAQ
Is the AnTing 800D certified for clinical diagnostics use?
No—this model lacks regulatory clearance (e.g., FDA 510(k), CE-IVD) and is designated for research-use-only (RUO) or general laboratory applications.
Can I use this centrifuge with 50 mL conical tubes?
No—the supplied fixed-angle rotor is dimensionally optimized for 15 mL tubes only; using oversized tubes may compromise balance, generate excessive vibration, and void warranty.
Does the 800D support rotor auto-identification or speed calibration?
No—rotor identification is manual, and speed calibration requires external tachometric verification per ISO 8570:2019 Annex B.
What maintenance schedule is recommended?
Inspect door latch mechanism and rotor threads monthly; clean chamber interior with 70% ethanol weekly; perform full visual inspection of motor housing and power cord quarterly.
Is replacement rotor documentation available?
Yes—AnTing provides rotor part numbers and dimensional drawings upon request; however, third-party rotors are not supported and may invalidate safety certification.
